I finished to make my first Montessori dressing frame, the small buttons one. I hadn't planned to made this one first, I had the zip or large buttons one in mind, but I found a shirt to recycle by chance that was perfect to make into a dressing frame.

I cut the front of the shirt, quickly hemmed all sides using the sewing machine and used tacks to secure the fabric on the back of the frame. I added a little ring on the top of the frame to be able to hang it on the wall easily.

Hi and welcome! My name is Elsa. A certified Montessori assistant, I am passionate about children's learning and alternative methods of education. I am currently pregnant with my first baby and like most new mums, have few expectations and plenty of questions on how best to raise a child. From now on, this blog will not only be about children's learning but also broader questionings about life with small children.
